Mandy (Soundtrack) Jóhann Jóhannsson

Before his death in February, Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson scored the forthcoming horror film Mandy, directed by Panos Cosmatos and starring Nicholas Cage. Now, Lakeshore and Invada will release the soundtrack on September 14.

The Mandy score was co-produced by Jóhann and Randall Dunn. Easily as equipped to convey the intense unease required of a horror film soundtrack as the pathos of its more melancholy stages, Jóhannsson also enlists Sunn O)))’s Stephen O'Malley on guitar. The album was later assembled with the help of co-producers Pepijn Caudron and Yair Glotman. The film, which arrives in theaters on September 14, is about a man who hunts the religious sect responsible for killing his wife.
